SUSTAINABILITY
ONE MILLION TREES
Trees. Lots of them. A million, in fact. That’s how many we’re going to plant across the four corners of Scotland before 2025.
Reforestation has already started near two of our Scottish Highland distilleries. 389,000 trees have been planted already. They’ll eventually absorb about 70,000 tonnes of carbon dioxide. In real terms, that’s the equivalent of 10,500 flights around the world or driving nearly half a million times from London to Edinburgh!
The woodland projects at Ballygowan (near Oban Distillery) and Allt Ruadh (near Glen
Ord Distillery) in the Scottish Highlands, will restore vital habitats for wildlife including grouse, crossbills, and red squirrels, while helping to fight the effects of climate change.
